This is a varied and influential role where you’ll translate strategy into practical plans, use data to improve performance, and work with colleagues, students, suppliers and partners to create positive environmental and social impact. We’re looking for someone with experience of leading complex programmes or projects, strong knowledge of environmental sustainability, and the ability to communicate, influence and work across organisational boundaries.
Key responsibilities
You’ll lead and support delivery across a range of sustainability programmes, including:
- Developing programme plans, governance, milestones and performance measures.
- Monitoring and reporting progress to senior leaders and university governance groups.
- Leading sustainability data collection, analysis and reporting, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
- Working with Procurement colleagues to embed social value, environmental criteria and carbon reduction into procurement activity.
- Leading inclusive communications and engagement activity that inspires staff, students and communities to take positive action.
A bit about the Sustainability Office
The Sustainability Office leads the University’s holistic Sustainability Strategy and works across the institution to embed sustainability into decisions, operations, culture and future planning. Our strategy is focused on three goal areas: sustainable campus, sustainable impact and sustainable communities.
At Salford, we recognise the climate and biological crises and the role universities play in helping students, staff and communities respond to global challenges. We want sustainability to be part of everybody’s business as usual, not a bolt-on.
